Robert Dussaut

Robert Dussaut (19 September 1896 – 23 October 1969) was a French classical composer.

[1] After his stay at the Villa Médicis in Rome from 1925 to 1928, he taught at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1936.

His extensive catalogue covers several genres of music: theatrical, orchestral, chamber and vocal.

Among many works, we owe him a string quartet which was crowned by the Académie des Beaux-Arts with the 1st Grand Prix Jacques Durand.

With additional instruments, this work is also in his catalogue as Symphony No.1 for strings, followed by a 2nd Choreographic Symphony; cycles of melodies including Élégie and Printemps also in violin and piano version; several lyrical dramas and particularly: La Fontaine de Pristina and Altanima, opera premiered in 1969 at the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux.
